Letter Scanning & Custom Book Binding | 4everBound LegacyPreserve

Vintage Letters

Made by hand, in house · Never outsourced · Handcrafted in the USA

Two Gifts in One

Everything is done for you — from the moment your letters leave your hands to the day your finished book arrives.

Preserve
Your legacy, safe forever

We gently handle your collection, unfolding and arranging them in order. Then we professionally scan them in full color at high-resolution 300 DPI. You receive a fully formatted, digital PDF file to keep, so your family’s history is never lost.

Create
An heirloom to pass down

We craft a beautiful, full-color hardcover book using the design features you choose — your title foiled on the spine and cover — the letters printed in full color. A custom bound book made to hold, share, and treasure for generations.

Each one is bound entirely by hand — every page handled with care.

Choose Your Package

Packages are good-faith estimates based on typical collections, but every project is unique — a collection of 50 letters might yield 250 pages, while 200 short letters might come to 400. Your final price is determined by two things: the total scanning and editing time your collection requires, and the final printed page count of your book.

We won't know either number precisely until we've handled your materials, which is why we send a firm quote with your proof — showing the actual scanning and editing charges plus the book cost if it exceeds 60 pages — before you commit to printing. Please note: scanning and editing charges apply once that service is completed.

Not sure where you fall? Fill out our contact form below and we'll guide you.

Package Collection Size Starting At
Keepsake Up to 120 pages (~30 letters) $449
Heritage 121–275 pages (~30–75 letters) $499
Legacy 276–450 pages (~75–120 letters) $767
Archive 451–600 pages (~120–160 letters) $1,038
Grand Archive 601+ pages (160+ letters) $1,499

*Letter counts are approximate — page counts vary per envelope, since a single envelope may hold a multi-page letter. Your exact price is based on final page count and scanning time.

What Your $449 Includes

Your deposit covers the first two hours of scanning and editing plus one printed book up to 60 pages. It also allows us to send out your kit and gives you priority seating in our production schedule.

If your collection needs more time or more pages, the additional rates are simple.
